Abstract The Acanthaceae family, comprising a wide range of medicinally important plants, holds a significant place in traditional and modern healthcare systems due to its diverse therapeutic properties. This review focuses on five prominent species—Justicia adhatoda, Andrographis paniculata, Acanthus ilicifolius, Barleria cristata, and Ruellia tuberosa—recognized for their extensive pharmacological potential. These plants have been traditionally employed across various cultures, and recent scientific investigations have validated their efficacy in combating microbial infections, inflammation, oxidative stress, and metabolic disorders such as diabetes. The review consolidates and critically evaluates the reported antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antidiabetic activities of the selected species, highlighting their active phytochemical constituents and mechanisms of action. The study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of these plants' therapeutic scope within the Acanthaceae family, thereby supporting their continued exploration for drug development and integrative medicinal practices.
